Someone has obviously given you and/or your employer incorrect
information. Look at the Act yourself at
gopher://bbs.qp.gov.bc.ca/0/LEGIS/3RD_READ/TXT/GOV29-3.TXT
In particular, check out Part 4 Section 37 on flexible hours of work.
The Act provides for precisely the kind of situation you describe. You
might also want to phone or write the Employment Standards Branch for
further information.
